Hail the King

It was only after the battle with Golden Sun Knight, Chris Sutton, that Fei got famous and shocked the people of St. Petersburg. From that moment on, Fei entered the sight of the most influential figures in the Empire. It was also that fight which caused the other executive knights to challenge Fei on the No.1 Sword-Testing Stage, stir up the situation, and give Fei the nickname of [Sky Covering Fist].

About a year ago, Sutton was the most famous younger-generation warrior in the Empire, and he became an executive knight at a young age. Many people thought that he was going to take over the t.i.tle of Martial Saint from Krasic one day.

However, this young man was very arrogant and aggressive.

The fight with Fei could be considered as his most painful battle. On the Dual-Tower Mountain, his lance broke, his golden armor shattered, and he left the place almost naked.

From that moment on, Sutton who was known as the Golden Sun Knight put away his arrogance and started to progress on the path of cultivation. Defeating Fei became his biggest mission in life.

In this year, Sutton who corrected his att.i.tude didn’t waste any time. With his talent and stimulation from Fei, he already became a Nine-Star Warrior, and he was very close to becoming a Moon-Cla.s.s Elite. His metal-elemental warrior energy was very lethal, and no enemy master could stop him yet.

Fei saw this acquaintance of his, but he couldn’t help but sigh at the current situation.

He still remembered that this Golden Sun Knight was one of the pursuers of Paris.

However, since the peace of the Empire broke, all the personal emotions had to be ditched aside. As a young warrior of Zenit, Sutton had to put himself into the war wholeheartedly. Even though his status was high, he could die at any moment now.

Boom!!!

Sutton led the charge, and the other warriors of Zenit followed him. They destroyed and flipped over the 31st siege machine, and the huge machine fell to the ground, splashing up a lot of dust.

As Sutton breathed heavily, he looked down at his golden armor that was now dyed red and full of cracks.

The continuous battle finally made this young warrior of Zenit feel fatigued, and more than half of his warrior energy was used in this battle. Therefore, he had to slow down a little and replenish his warrior energy.

Behind him, the 16 experienced Three-Star Warriors who were selected from the military of Zenit looked at him in admiration. Under the leadership of this young executive knight, they obtained a small-scale victory! They killed more than 100 warriors of Leon and more than 1,000 soldiers of Leon and destroyed more than 30 siege machines. In their eyes, Sutton was a real hero.

The intense murderous spirit coming off Sutton terrified the ordinary soldiers of Leon, and they didn’t dare to approach. These warriors of Zenit were only surrounded and not attacked, which was rare, and they took this opportunity to restore their depleting warrior energies quickly.

At this moment, Chris Sutton suddenly sensed something, and he looked up at a direction as his pupils contracted.

In the sky, three figures who were in the black uniform armors of Leon flew in this direction quickly, and they looked like three dashes of lights. Before they got here, their vast and tsunami-like auras already suffocated these warriors of Zenit.

Moon-Cla.s.s Elites!

It seemed like the Chief Commander of Leon who was far from here finally noticed this elite team of Zenit outside the defense wall, and he sent over three Moon-Cla.s.s Elites to kill them and gain complete control of the main gate of St. Petersburg.

Any single Moon-Cla.s.s Elite would be considered a great treasure of an empire.

In the last 30 hours or so, the Moon-Cla.s.s Elites of both empires had battled each other many times. In a severe disadvantage, Zenit had sent out all the Moon-Cla.s.s Elites of the Imperial Senate. The four Moon-Cla.s.s Elites on the side of Zenit only barely pressured the Moon-Cla.s.s Elites of Leon to back off with the a.s.sistance of the magic crossbows on the defense wall, and two of them were severely injured while the other two died in battle.

Chris Sutton was clear that Zenit almost had no Moon-Cla.s.s Elite who still had combat abilities. Out of the two Moon-Cla.s.s Elites who were severely injured, one of them already died, and the other one finally got his life saved by the mages of Zenit, and he could only recover some of his strength after three to four days of rest. Right now, Zenit couldn’t send out any more masters to battle these three Moon-Cla.s.s Elites who were dashing over.

”Now, we could only use the life of countless ordinary soldiers and Star-level Warriors to slow down these three terrifying enemies!” the Golden Sun Knight thought to himself, and he wasn’t afraid at all.

He grasped his golden dragon lance, straightened his back, and said to his comrades heroically without turning around, ”Brothers, it is my honor to fight alongside you. Now, the final moment is here. No matter what happens, as long as we are alive, we can’t allow the Leonians to charge into the Capital! Let’s use our lives to protect our loved ones in the city and fulfill the promise we made to Emperor Ya.s.sin!”

”We are willing to battle until death!” The 16 elite soldiers roared in unison.

The brave souls of Zenit’s military resonated with this roar.

At the same time, the three Moon-Cla.s.s Elites of Leon who dashed over separated into two groups.

Two of them flew pa.s.s this elite team of Zenit, penetrated the magic energy sphere, and dashed at Arshavin, the Chief Commander who was sitting on the defense wall. The last one dashed down like a fierce eagle, and he struck at Sutton with a smile full of disdain.

”Kill!”

The Golden Sun Knight roared and unleashed all his metal-elemental warrior energy. The bright warrior energy flames shined on his golden armor, making him look like a small sun on the ground. The dragon lance that was about three meters long dashed out of his hand and shot at the Moon-Cla.s.s Elite who was striking down on him.

”Hahaha! How dare a few ants like you challenge a dragon?” arrogant laughter sounded from the sky.

Bam!

This Moon-Cla.s.s Elite of Leon only lightly punched out, but an indefensible force appeared, instantly shattering the dragon lance that was thrown out by Sutton, who was a Nine-Star Warrior, into thousands of pieces, and these golden pieces shot in all directions.

However, it seemed like Sutton already antic.i.p.ated this. His handsome face still looked calm, and he stepped forward with his left leg and bent his left knee a little. Then, his right hand clenched in the air, and a huge dragon lance, which was made from condensed metal-elemental warrior energy, appeared in his hand and shot into the sky.

In a split second, Sutton created and shot out more than a dozen warrior energy lances.

[Crescent Moon Meteor Strike]!

The golden energy lances turned into phantoms and created a huge net, wrapping onto this Moon-Cla.s.s Elite.

This technique was from a powerful scroll which Sutton obtained from the Royal Martial Library. It was a powerful lance technique, and its power was multiplied when metal-elemental warrior energy was used. It was heard that Emperor Ya.s.sin created this technique himself.

In this devastating situation, Sutton knew that he couldn’t get out of here alive, and he was fearless. Since he was determined to severely injure his opponent even if he couldn’t die with him, he unleashed all his warrior energy without holding back.

Therefore, Sutton’s strike even reached low-tier New Moon Realm.

This Moon-Cla.s.s Elite of Leon underestimated his opponent; he didn’t think that a Nine-Star Warrior could ever injure him.

Therefore, a few golden energy lances flew past his shoulder, cutting a few of his hairs and leaving a light scratch on his face.

”Power!” The 16 elite soldiers all roared at the same time.

Then, they unleashed all their power, ignited their warrior energy flames, and leaped into the air, trying to use their most powerful strikes and lives to stop this Moon-Cla.s.s Elite like moths to flames.
